Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Hey, everyone! Welcome back and thank you for your patience yesterday. The server that hosts my web has been dying slowly, and yesterday was a bad day. A new server is going into effect over the next two weeks (these things take time), but the transition should be fairly seamless.

Continue readingAs many of you have noticed, my spam catcher has been filtering completely innocuous comments into the moderation queue, where they have to wait until I catch up with them (fortunately, I catch up fairly quickly). I think I finally figured out why. One of the words the filter was
Continue readingI came across two great words in my reading today and wanted to share them with you: The first word is irenic, which is an adjective meaning “tending to promote peace or reconciliation; peaceful or conciliatory.” I read this word in Emmett Tyrrell’s article about the irreconcilability between Palestinians and
